I am most interested in the business card posted from J. W. Newlean, Vice President of Wells Fargo & Co., Chicago. I presume this is the business card of one of my father-in-law's cousins, John W. Newlean, b. Wahoo City, Saunders co., NE Oct 1874. The NEWLEAN surname is exceedingly rare, being created by two brothers who entered the US from Markaryd Parish in southern Sweden. I would love to know more about the history of this card and about J. W. Newlean.
